Description
An external, precision, low drift 15 kΩ current setting resistor can be connected to this pin to improve the IOUT_B
temperature drift performance. See the Device Features section.
An external, precision, low drift 15 kΩ current setting resistor can be connected to this pin to improve the IOUT_A
temperature drift performance. See the Device Features section.
Ground Reference Point for Internal Reference.
Address Decode for the Device Under Test (DUT) on the Board.
Address Decode for the DUT on the Board.
Active Low Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the serial interface. While SYNC is low, data is
transferred in on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the input shift register on the rising edge of SCLK. This operates at clock
speeds of up to 30 MHz.
Serial Data Input. Data must be valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial Data Output. Used to clock data from the serial register in readback mode. See Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Digital Supply. The voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Digital Ground.
Load DAC, Active Low Input. This is used to update the DAC register and consequently the DAC outputs. When
tied permanently low, the addressed DAC data register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC. If LDAC is held
high during the write cycle, the DAC input register is updated, but the DAC output update only takes place at
the falling edge of LDAC (see Figure 3). Using this mode, all analog outputs can be updated simultaneously. The
LDAC pin must not be left unconnected.
Active High, Edge Sensitive Input. Asserting this pin sets the output current and voltage to the preprogrammed
clear code bit setting. Only channels enabled to be cleared are cleared. See the Device Features section for more
information. When CLEAR is active, the DAC output register cannot be written to.

Description
Active High Output. This pin is asserted when there has been no SPI activity on the interface pins for a
predetermined time. See the Device Features section for more information.
Active Low Output. This pin is asserted low when an open circuit in current mode is detected, a short circuit in
voltage mode is detected, a PEC error is detected, or an overtemperature is detected (see the Device Features
section). Open-drain output.
Power-On Condition. This pin determines the power-on condition and is read during power-on or, alternatively,
after a device reset. If POC = 0, the device is powered up with the voltage and current channels in tristate mode.
If POC = 1, the device is powered up with a 30 kΩ pull-down resistor to ground on the voltage output channel,
and the current channel is in tristate mode.

Figure 63. REFOUT vs. Temperature (When the AD5755-1 is soldered onto a
PCB, the reference shifts due to thermal shock on the package. The average
output voltage shift is −4 mV. Measurement of these parts after seven days
shows that the outputs typically shift back 2 mV toward their initial values.
This second shift is due to the relaxation of stress incurred during soldering.)

AD5755-1
TERMINOLOGY
Relative Accuracy or Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
For the DAC, relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity, is a
measure of the maximum deviation, in LSBs, from the best fit
line through the DAC transfer function. A typical INL vs. code
plot is shown in Figure 8.
Full-Scale Error
Full-scale error is a measure of the output error when full-scale
code is loaded to the DAC register. Ideally, the output should be
full-scale − 1 LSB. Full-scale error is expressed in percent of
full-scale range (% FSR).
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the
measured change and the ideal 1 LSB change between any two
adjacent codes. A specified differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB
maximum ensures monotonicity. This DAC is guaranteed
monotonic by design. A typical DNL vs. code plot is shown in
Figure 9.
Full-Scale TC
Full-scale TC is a measure of the change in full-scale error with
changes in temperature and is expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Monotonicity
A DAC is monotonic if the output either increases or remains
constant for increasing digital input code. The AD5755-1 is
monotonic over its full operating temperature range.
Negative Full-Scale Error/Zero-Scale Error
Negative full-scale error is the error in the DAC output voltage
when 0x0000 (straight binary coding) is loaded to the DAC
register.
Zero-Scale TC
This is a measure of the change in zero-scale error with a change in
temperature. Zero-scale error TC is expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Bipolar Zero Error
Bipolar zero error is the deviation of the analog output from the
ideal half-scale output of 0 V when the DAC register is loaded
with 0x8000 (straight binary coding).
Bipolar Zero TC
Bipolar zero TC is a measure of the change in the bipolar zero
error with a change in temperature. It is expressed in ppm
FSR/°C.
Offset Error
In voltage output mode, offset error is the deviation of the
analog output from the ideal quarter-scale output when in
bipolar output ranges and the DAC register is loaded with
0x4000 (straight binary coding).
In current output mode, offset error is the deviation of the
analog output from the ideal zero-scale output when all DAC
registers are loaded with 0x0000.
Gain Error
This is a measure of the span error of the DAC. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC transfer characteristic from the ideal,
expressed in % FSR.
Gain TC
This is a measure of the change in gain error with changes in
temperature. Gain TC is expressed in ppm FSR/°C.
Total Unadjusted Error
Total unadjusted error (TUE) is a measure of the output error
taking all the various errors into account, including INL error,
offset error, gain error, temperature, and time. TUE is expressed
in % FSR.
DC Crosstalk
This is the dc change in the output level of one DAC in response
to a change in the output of another DAC. It is measured with a
full-scale output change on one DAC while monitoring another
DAC, which is at midscale.
Current Loop Compliance Voltage
The maximum voltage at the IOUT_x pin for which the output
current is equal to the programmed value.
Voltage Reference Thermal Hysteresis
Voltage reference thermal hysteresis is the difference in output
voltage measured at +25°C compared to the output voltage
measured at +25°C after cycling the temperature from +25°C to
−40°C to +105°C and back to +25°C. The hysteresis is specified
for the first and second temperature cycles and is expressed in ppm.
Output Voltage Settling Time
Output voltage settling time is the amount of time it takes for
the output to settle to a specified level for a full-scale input
change. A plot of settling time is shown in Figure 24, Figure 50,
and Figure 51.
Slew Rate
The slew rate of a device is a limitation in the rate of change of
the output voltage. The output slewing speed of a voltageoutput digital-to-analog converter is usually limited by the slew
rate of the amplifier used at its output. Slew rate is measured
from 10% to 90% of the output signal and is given in V/μs.
Power-On Glitch Energy
Power-on glitch energy is the impulse injected into the analog
output when the AD5755-1 is powered-on. It is specified as the
area of the glitch in nV-sec. See Figure 29 and Figure 47.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
Digital-to-analog glitch impulse is the impulse injected into the
analog output when the input code in the DAC register changes
state, but the output voltage remains constant. It is normally
specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec and is measured
when the digital input code is changed by 1 LSB at the major
carry transition (~0x7FFF to 0x8000). See Figure 26.
Rev. A | Page 26 of 48
AD5755-1
Glitch Impulse Peak Amplitude
Glitch impulse peak amplitude is the peak amplitude of the
impulse injected into the analog output when the input code in
the DAC register changes state. It is specified as the amplitude
of the glitch in mV and is measured when the digital input code
is changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (~0x7FFF to
0x8000). See Figure 26.
Digital Feedthrough
Digital feedthrough is a measure of the impulse injected into the
analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs of the DAC but is
measured when the DAC output is not updated. It is specified
in nV-sec and measured with a full-scale code change on the
data bus.
DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk
DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch impulse transferred to the
output of one DAC due to a digital code change and a subsequent
output change of another DAC. This includes both digital and
analog crosstalk. It is measured by loading one of the DACs
with a full-scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) with
LDAC low and monitoring the output of another DAC. The
energy of the glitch is expressed in nV-sec.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by
changes in the power supply voltage.
Line Regulation
Line regulation is the change in reference output voltage due to
a specified change in supply voltage. It is expressed in ppm/V.
Load Regulation
Load regulation is the change in reference output voltage due to
a specified change in load current. It is expressed in ppm/mA.
DC-to-DC Converter Headroom
This is the difference between the voltage required at the
current output and the voltage supplied by the dc-to-dc
converter. See Figure 53.
Output Efficiency
I 2OUT × R LOAD
AVCC × AI CC
This is defined as the power delivered to a channel’s load vs. the

AD5755-1
THEORY OF OPERATION
VBOOST_x
The AD5755-1 is a quad, precision digital-to-current loop and
voltage output converter designed to meet the requirements of
industrial process control applications. It provides a high precision,
fully integrated, low cost, single-chip solution for generating
current loop and unipolar/bipolar voltage outputs. The current
ranges available are 0 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 24 mA, and 4 mA
to 20 mA. The voltage ranges available are 0 V to 5 V, ±5 V, 0 V
to 10 V, and ±10 V. The current and voltage outputs are available on separate pins, and only one is active at any one time. The
desired output configuration is user selectable via the DAC
control register.
The DAC core architecture of the AD5755-1 consists of two
matched DAC sections. A simplified circuit diagram is shown
in Figure 71. The four MSBs of the 16-bit data-word are
decoded to drive 15 switches, E1 to E15. Each of these switches
connects one of 15 matched resistors to either ground or the
reference buffer output. The remaining 12 bits of the data-word
drive Switch S0 to Switch S11 of a 12-bit voltage mode R-2R
ladder network.

The voltage output from the DAC core is either converted to a
current (see Figure 73), which is then mirrored to the supply rail
so that the application simply sees a current source output, or it
is buffered and scaled to output a software selectable unipolar or
bipolar voltage range (see Figure 72). Both the voltage and current
outputs are supplied by VBOOST_x. The current and voltage are
output on separate pins and cannot be output simultaneously.
A channel’s current and voltage output pins can be tied together.

The voltage output amplifier is capable of generating both
unipolar and bipolar output voltages. It is capable of driving a
load of 1 kΩ in parallel with 1 μF (with an external compensation capacitor) to AGND. The source and sink capabilities of
the output amplifier are shown in Figure 23. The slew rate is
1.9 V/μs with a full-scale settling time of 16 μs (10 V step). If
remote sensing of the load is not required, connect +VSENSE_x
directly to VOUT_x. + VSENSE_x must stay within ±3.0 V of VOUT_x
for correct operation.
The voltage output amplifier is capable of driving capacitive
loads of up to 2 μF with the addition of a 220 pF nonpolarized
compensation capacitor on each channel. Care should be taken
to choose an appropriate value of compensation capacitor. This
capacitor, while allowing the AD5755-1 to drive higher capacitive loads and reduce overshoot, increases the settling time of
the part and, therefore, affects the bandwidth of the system.
Without the compensation capacitor, up to 10 nF capacitive
loads can be driven. See Table 5 for information on connecting
compensation capacitors.
Reference Buffers
The AD5755-1 can operate with either an external or internal
reference. The reference input requires a 5 V reference for
specified performance. This input voltage is then buffered
before it is applied to the DAC.

On initial power-up of the AD5755-1, the power-on reset
circuit powers up in a state that is dependent on the power-on
condition (POC) pin.
If POC = 0, the voltage output and current output channels
power up in tristate mode.
If POC = 1, the voltage output channel powers up with a 30 kΩ
pull-down resistor to ground, and the current output channel
powers up to tristate.
Even though the output ranges are not enabled, the default
output range is 0 V to 5 V, and the clear code register is loaded

If packet error checking, or PEC (see the Device Features

the AD5755-1, creating a 32-bit serial interface.
There are two ways in which the DAC outputs can be updated:
individual updating or simultaneous updating of all DACs.
Individual DAC Updating
In this mode, LDAC is held low while data is being clocked into
the DAC data register. The addressed DAC output is updated on
the rising edge of SYNC. See Table 3 and Figure 3 for timing
information.
Simultaneous Updating of All DACs
In this mode, LDAC is held high while data is being clocked
into the DAC data register. Only the first write to each channel’s
DAC data register is valid after LDAC is brought high. Any subsequent writes while LDAC is still held high are ignored, though
they are loaded into the DAC data register. All the DAC outputs
are updated by taking LDAC low after SYNC is taken high.

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE TO WRITE/ENABLE
THE OUTPUT CORRECTLY
CHANGING AND REPROGRAMMING THE RANGE
To correctly write to and set up the part from a power-on
condition, use the following sequence:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Perform a hardware or software reset after initial power-on.
The dc-to-dc converter supply block must be configured.
Set the dc-to-dc switching frequency, maximum output
voltage allowed, and the phase that the four dc-to-dc
channels clock at.
Configure the DAC control register on a per channel basis.
The output range is selected, and the dc-to-dc converter
block is enabled (DC_DC bit). Other control bits can be
configured at this point. Set the INT_ENABLE bit; however,
the output enable bit (OUTEN) should not be set.
Write the required code to the DAC data register. This
implements a full DAC calibration internally. Allow at least
200 μs before Step 5 for reduced output glitch.
Write to the DAC control register again to enable the
output (set the OUTEN bit).
When changing between ranges, the same sequence as
described in the Programming Sequence to Write/Enable the
Output Correctly section should be used. It is recommended to
set the range to its zero point (can be midscale or zero scale)
prior to disabling the output. Because the dc-to-dc switching
frequency, maximum voltage, and phase have already been
selected, there is no need to reprogram these. A flowchart of
this sequence is shown in Figure 76.

DATA REGISTERS
The input register is 24 bits wide. When PEC is enabled, the
input register is 32 bits wide, with the last eight bits corresponding to the PEC code (see the Packet Error Checking section for
more information on PEC). When writing to a data register, the
format in Table 8 must be used.
DAC Data Register
When writing to the AD5755-1 DAC data registers, D15 to D0

Gain Register
The 16-bit gain register, as shown in Table 11, allows the user to
adjust the gain of each channel in steps of 1 LSB. This is done by
setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 010. It is possible to write the
same gain code to all four DAC channels at the same time by
setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 011. The gain register coding is
straight binary as shown in Table 12. The default code in the
gain register is 0xFFFF. In theory, the gain can be tuned across
the full range of the output. In practice, the maximum
recommended gain trim is about 50% of programmed range to
maintain accuracy. See the Digital Offset and Gain Control
section for more information.
Offset Register
The 16-bit offset register, as shown in Table 13, allows the user to
adjust the offset of each channel by −32,768 LSBs to +32,767 LSBs
in steps of 1 LSB. This is done by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to
100. It is possible to write the same offset code to all four DAC
channels at the same time by setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 101.
The offset register coding is straight binary as shown in Table 14.
The default code in the offset register is 0x8000, which results in
zero offset programmed to the output. See the Digital Offset
and Gain Control section for more information.
Clear Code Register
The 16-bit clear code register allows the user to set the clear
value of each channel as shown in Table 15. It is possible, via
software, to enable or disable on a per channel basis which
channels are cleared when the CLEAR pin is activated. The
default clear code is 0x0000. See the Asynchronous Clear
section for more information.

CONTROL REGISTERS
Main Control Register
When writing to a control register, the format shown in Table 16
must be used. See Table 9 for information on the configuration
of Bit D23 to Bit D16. The control registers are addressed by
setting the DREG[2:0] bits to 111 and then setting the
CREG[2:0] bits to the appropriate decode address for that
register, according to Table 17. These CREG bits select among
the various control registers.
The main control register options are shown in Table 18 and
Table 19. See the Device Features section for more information
on the features controlled by the main control register.

AD5755-1
Software Register
The software register has three functions. It allows the user to
perform a software reset to the part. It can be used to set the
user toggle bit, D11, in the status register. It is also used as part
of the watchdog feature when it is enabled. This feature is useful
to ensure that communication has not been lost between the
MCU and the AD5755-1 and that the datapath lines are working
properly (that is, SDIN, SCLK, and SYNC).
When the watchdog feature is enabled, the user must write
0x195 to the software register within the timeout period. If this
command is not received within the timeout period, the ALERT
pin signals a fault condition. This is only required when the
watchdog timer function is enabled.
DC-to-DC Control Register
The dc-to-dc control register allows the user control over
the dc-to-dc switching frequency and phase, as well as the
maximum allowable dc-to-dc output voltage. The dc-to-dc
control register options are shown in Table 24 and Table 25.

Slew Rate Control Register
This register is used to program the slew rate control for the

request to read yet another register on a third data transfer or
0x1CE000, which is the no operation command.
Readback Example
To read back the gain register of Device 1, Channel A on the
AD5755-1, implement the following sequence:
READBACK OPERATION
1.
Readback mode is invoked by setting the R/W bit = 1 in the
serial input register write. See Table 27 for the bits associated
with a readback operation. The DUT_AD1 and DUT_AD0 bits,
in association with Bits RD[4:0], select the register to be read.
The remaining data bits in the write sequence are don’t cares.
During the next SPI transfer (see Figure 4), the data appearing
on the SDO output contains the data from the previously
2.
Write 0xA80000 to the AD5755-1 input register. This
configures the AD5755-1 Device Address 1 for read mode
with the gain register of Channel A selected. All the data
bits, D15 to D0, are don’t cares.
Follow with another read command or a no operation
command (0x1CE000). During this command, the data
from the Channel A gain register is clocked out on the
SDO line.

AD5755-1
DEVICE FEATURES
The AD5755-1 is equipped with a FAULT pin, an active low
open-drain output allowing several AD5755-1 devices to be
connected together to one pull-up resistor for global fault
detection. The FAULT pin is forced active by any one of the
following fault scenarios:

Figure 77. Digital Offset and Gain control
The voltage at IOUT_x attempts to rise above the compliance
range due to an open-loop circuit or insufficient power
supply voltage. The internal circuitry that develops the
fault output avoids using a comparator with windowed
limits because this requires an actual output error before
the FAULT output becomes active. Instead, the signal is
generated when the internal amplifier in the output stage
has less than approximately 1 V of remaining drive
capability. Thus, the FAULT output activates slightly before
the compliance limit is reached.
A short is detected on a voltage output pin. The shortcircuit current is limited to 16 mA or 8 mA, which is
programmable by the user. If using the AD5755-1 in
unipolar supply mode, a short-circuit fault may be
generated if the output voltage is below 50 mV.
An interface error is detected due to a PEC failure. See the
Packet Error Checking section.
If the core temperature of the AD5755-1 exceeds
approximately 150°C.
The VOUT_x fault, IOUT_x fault, PEC error, and over TEMP bits
of the status register are used in conjunction with the FAULT
output to inform the user which one of the fault conditions
caused the FAULT output to be activated.
VOLTAGE OUTPUT SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Although Figure 77 indicates a multiplier and adder for each
channel, there is only one multiplier and one adder in the device,
and they are shared among all four channels. This has
implications for the update speed when several channels are
updated at once (see Table 3).
Each time data is written to the M or C register, the output is
not automatically updated. Instead, the next write to the DAC
channel uses these M and C values to perform a new calibration
and automatically updates the channel.
The output data from the calibration is routed to the DAC input
register. This is then loaded to the DAC as described in the
Theory of Operation section. Both the gain register and the
offset register have 16 bits of resolution. The correct method to
calibrate the gain/offset is to first calibrate out the gain and then
calibrate the offset.
The value (in decimal) that is written to the DAC input register
can be calculated by
Code DACRegister = D ×
( M + 1)
216
+ C − 215
(1)
where:
D is the code loaded to the DAC channel’s input register.
M is the code in the gain register (default code = 216 – 1).
C is the code in the offset register (default code = 215).
Under normal operation, the voltage output sinks/sources up
to 12 mA and maintains specified operation. The maximum
output current or short-circuit current is programmable by
the user and can be set to 16 mA or 8 mA. If a short circuit is
detected, the FAULT goes low and the relevant short CCT bit
in the status register is set.
STATUS READBACK DURING A WRITE
DIGITAL OFFSET AND GAIN CONTROL
When status readback during a write is enabled, the contents of
the 16-bit status register (see Table 30) are output on the SDO
pin, as shown in Figure 5.
Each DAC channel has a gain (M) and offset (C) register, which
allow trimming out of the gain and offset errors of the entire
signal chain. Data from the DAC data register is operated on by
a digital multiplier and adder controlled by the contents of the
M and C registers. The calibrated DAC data is then stored in the
DAC input register.
The AD5755-1 has the ability to read back the status register
contents during every write sequence. This feature is enabled
via the STATREAD bit in the main control register. This allows
the user to continuously monitor the status register and act
quickly in the case of a fault.
The AD5755-1 powers up with this feature disabled. When this
is enabled, the normal readback feature is not available, except
for the status register. To read back any other register, clear the
STATREAD bit first before following the readback sequence.
STATREAD can be set high again after the register read.
Rev. A | Page 39 of 48
AD5755-1
ASYNCHRONOUS CLEAR
CLEAR is an active high, edge-sensitive input that allows the
output to be cleared to a preprogrammed 16-bit code. This code
is user programmable via a per channel 16-bit clear code register.
For a channel to clear, that channel must be enabled to be
cleared via the CLR_EN bit in the channel’s DAC control
register. If the channel is not enabled to be cleared, then
the output remains in its current state independent of the
CLEAR pin level.
When the CLEAR signal is returned low, the relevant outputs
remain cleared until a new value is programmed.
PACKET ERROR CHECKING
To verify that data has been received correctly in noisy environments, the AD5755-1 offers the option of packet error checking
based on an 8-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-8). The device
controlling the AD5755-1 should generate an 8-bit frame check
sequence using the polynomial
C(x) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1
This is added to the end of the data-word, and 32 bits are sent to
the AD5755-1 before taking SYNC high. If the AD5755-1 sees a
32-bit frame, it performs the error check when SYNC goes high.
If the check is valid, the data is written to the selected register.
If the error check fails, the FAULT pin goes low and the PEC
error bit in the status register is set. After reading the status
register, FAULT returns high (assuming there are no other
faults), and the PEC error bit is cleared automatically.
UPDATE ON SYNC HIGH
SYNC
disabled, the user can still use the normal readback operation to
monitor status register activity with PEC.
WATCHDOG TIMER
When enabled, an on-chip watchdog timer generates an alert
signal if 0x195 has not been written to the software register
within the programmed timeout period. This feature is useful to
ensure that communication has not been lost between the MCU
and the AD5755-1 and that these datapath lines are working
properly (that is, SDIN, SCLK, and SYNC). If 0x195 is not
received by the software register within the timeout period, the
ALERT pin signals a fault condition. The ALERT signal is active
high and can be connected directly to the CLEAR pin to enable
a clear in the event that communication from the MCU is lost.
The watchdog timer is enabled, and the timeout period (5 ms,
10 ms, 100 ms, or 200 ms) is set in the main control register (see
Table 18 and Table 19).
OUTPUT ALERT
The AD5755-1 is equipped with an ALERT pin. This is an
active high CMOS output. The AD5755-1 also has an internal
watchdog timer. When enabled, it monitors SPI communications. If 0x195 is not received by the software register within the
timeout period, the ALERT pin goes active.
INTERNAL REFERENCE
The AD5755-1 contains an integrated +5 V voltage reference
with initial accuracy of ±5 mV maximum and a temperature
drift coefficient of ±10 ppm maximum. The reference voltage
is buffered and externally available for use elsewhere within
the system.

Referring to Figure 73, RSET is an internal sense resistor as part

stability of the output current over temperature, an external
15 kΩ low drift resistor can be connected to the RSET_x pin of the
AD5755-1 to be used instead of the internal resistor, R1. The

Table 1 outlines the performance specifications of the AD5755-1
with both the internal RSET resistor and an external, 15 kΩ RSET
resistor. Using an external RSET resistor allows for improved
performance over the internal RSET resistor option. The external
RSET resistor specification assumes an ideal resistor; the actual
performance depends on the absolute value and temperature
coefficient of the resistor used. This directly affects the gain error
of the output, and thus the total unadjusted error. To arrive at
the gain/TUE error of the output with a particular external RSET
resistor, add the percentage absolute error of the RSET resistor
directly to the gain/TUE error of the AD5755-1 with the external RSET resistor, shown in Table 1 (expressed in % FSR).

The AD5755-1 has four CHART pins, one corresponding to

pins. The HART signal appears on the corresponding current
output, if the output is enabled. Table 31 shows the recommended
input voltages for the HART signal at the CHART pin. If these
voltages are used, the current output should meet the HART
amplitude specifications. Figure 79 shows the recommended

A minimum capacitance of C1 + C2 is required to ensure that
the 1.2 kHz and 2.2 kHz HART frequencies are not significantly
attenuated at the output. The recommended values are C1 =
22 nF, C2 = 47 nF.
Digitally controlling the slew rate of the output is necessary to
meet the analog rate of change requirements for HART.
DIGITAL SLEW RATE CONTROL
The slew rate control feature of the AD5755-1 allows the user to
control the rate at which the output value changes. This feature
is available on both the current and voltage outputs. With the
slew rate control feature disabled, the output value changes at a
rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached load.
To reduce the slew rate, this can be achieved by enabling the
slew rate control feature. With the feature enabled via the SREN
bit of the slew rate control register (see Table 26), the output,
instead of slewing directly between two values, steps digitally at
a rate defined by two parameters accessible via the slew rate
control register, as shown in Table 26.
The parameters are SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP. SR_CLOCK
defines the rate at which the digital slew is updated, for
example, if the selected update rate is 8 kHz, the output updates
every 125 μs. In conjunction with this, SR_STEP defines by how
much the output value changes at each update. Together, both
parameters define the rate of change of the output value. Table 32
and Table 33 outline the range of values for both the
SR_CLOCK and SR_STEP parameters.

The following equation describes the slew rate as a function of

Slew Time =

Step Size × Update Clock Frequency × LSB Size
where:
Slew Time is expressed in seconds.
Output Change is expressed in amps for IOUT_x or volts for VOUT_x.
When the slew rate control feature is enabled, all output changes
occur at the programmed slew rate (see the DC-to-DC Converter
Settling Time section for additional information). For example,
if the CLEAR pin is asserted, the output slews to the clear value
at the programmed slew rate (assuming that the clear channel is
enabled to be cleared). If a number of channels are enabled for
slew, care must be taken when asserting the CLEAR pin. If one
of the channels is slewing when CLEAR is asserted, other channels may change directly to their clear values not under slew
rate control. The update clock frequency for any given value is
the same for all output ranges. The step size, however, varies
across output ranges for a given value of step size because the
LSB size is different for each output range.

AD5755-1
POWER DISSIPATION CONTROL
The AD5755-1 contains integrated dynamic power control
using a dc-to-dc boost converter circuit, allowing reductions in
power consumption from standard designs when using the part
in current output mode.
In standard current input module designs, the load resistor
values can range from typically 50 Ω to 750 Ω. Output module
systems must source enough voltage to meet the compliance
voltage requirement across the full range of load resistor values.
For example, in a 4 mA to 20 mA loop when driving 20 mA, a
compliance voltage of >15 V is required. When driving 20 mA
into a 50 Ω load, only 1 V compliance is required.
The AD5755-1 circuitry senses the output voltage and regulates
this voltage to meet compliance requirements plus a small
headroom voltage. The AD5755-1 is capable of driving up to
24 mA through a 1 kΩ load.
DC-TO-DC CONVERTERS
The AD5755-1 contains four independent dc-to-dc converters.
These are used to provide dynamic control of the VBOOST supply
voltage for each channel (see Figure 73). Figure 80 shows the
discreet components needed for the dc-to-dc circuitry, and the
following sections describe component selection and operation
of this circuitry.

The maximum VBOOST_x voltage is set in the dc-to-dc control
register (23 V, 24.5 V, 27 V, or 29.5 V; see Table 25). On reaching
this maximum voltage, the dc-to-dc converter is disabled, and
the VBOOST_x voltage is allowed to decay by ~0.4 V. After the
VBOOST_x voltage has decayed by ~0.4 V, the dc-to-dc converter
is reenabled, and the voltage ramps up again to VMAX, if still
required. This operation is shown in Figure 81.

When in current output mode, the settling time for a step greater
than ~1 V (IOUT × RLOAD) is dominated by the settling time of the
dc-to-dc converter. The exception to this is when the required
voltage at the IOUT_x pin plus the compliance voltage is below
7.4 V (±5%). A typical plot of the output settling time can be
found in Figure 49. This plot is for a 1 kΩ load. The settling time
for smaller loads is faster. The settling time for current steps less

Figure 81. Operation on Reaching VMAX
DC-to-DC Converter Operation
The on-board dc-to-dc converters use a constant frequency,
peak current mode control scheme to step up an AVCC input of
4.5 V to 5.5 V to drive the AD5755-1 output channel. These are
designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
with a duty cycle of <90% typical. Discontinuous conduction
mode refers to a mode of operation where the inductor current
goes to zero for an appreciable percentage of the switching
cycle. The dc-to-dc converters are nonsynchronous; that is, they
require an external Schottky diode.
As can be seen in Figure 81, the DC-DCx bit in the status register
asserts when the AD5755-1 is ramping to the VMAX value but
deasserts when the voltage is decaying to VMAX − ~0.4 V.
DC-to-DC Converter Output Voltage
The AD5755-1 dc-to-dc converter switching frequency can be
selected from the dc-to-dc control register. The phasing of the
channels can also be adjusted so that the dc-to-dc converter can
clock on different edges (see Table 25). For typical applications,
a 410 kHz frequency is recommended. At light loads (low output
When a channel current output is enabled, the converter regulates
the VBOOST_x supply to 7.4 V (±5%) or (IOUT × RLOAD + Headroom),
whichever is greater (see Figure 53 for a plot of headroom
supplied vs. output current). In voltage output mode with the

The AD5755-1 contains a 0.425 Ω internal switch. The switch

current and small load resistor), the dc-to-dc converter enters a
pulse-skipping mode to minimize switching power dissipation.
DC-to-DC Converter Inductor Selection
For typical 4 mA to 20 mA applications, a 10 μH inductor (such
as the XAL4040-103 from Coilcraft), combined with a switching frequency of 410 kHz, allows up to 24 mA to be driven into a
load resistance of up to 1 kΩ with an AVCC supply of 4.5 V to
5.5 V. It is important to ensure that the inductor is able to
handle the peak current without saturating, especially at the
maximum ambient temperature. If the inductor enters into
saturation mode, it results in a decrease in efficiency. The
inductance value also drops during saturation and may result in
the dc-to-dc converter circuit not being able to supply the
required output power.
DC-to-DC Converter External Schottky Selection
The AD5755-1 requires an external Schottky for correct
operation. Ensure that the Schottky is rated to handle the
maximum reverse breakdown expected in operation and that
the rectifier maximum junction temperature is not exceeded.
The diode average current is approximately equal to the ILOAD
current. Diodes with larger forward voltage drops result in a
decrease in efficiency.
DC-to-DC Converter Compensation Capacitors
As the dc-to-dc converter operates in DCM, the uncompensated
transfer function is essentially a single-pole transfer function.
The pole frequency of the transfer function is determined by
the dc-to-dc converter’s output capacitance, input and output
voltage, and output load. The AD5755-1 uses an external capacitor
in conjunction with an internal 150 kΩ resistor to compensate
the regulator loop. Alternatively, an external compensation resistor
can be used in series with the compensation capacitor, by setting
the DC-DC Comp bit in the dc-to-dc control register. In this case,
a ~50 kΩ resistor is recommended. A description of the advantages
of this can be found in the AICC Supply Requirements—Slewing
section. For typical applications, a 10 nF dc-to-dc compensation
capacitor is recommended.
component. For the AD5755-1, a low ESR tantalum or ceramic
capacitor of 10 μF is recommended for typical applications.
Ceramic capacitors must be chosen carefully because they can
exhibit a large sensitivity to dc bias voltages and temperature.
X5R or X7R dielectrics are preferred because these capacitors
remain stable over wider operating voltage and temperature
ranges. Care must be taken if selecting a tantalum capacitor to
ensure a low ESR value.
AICC SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS—STATIC
The dc-to-dc converter is designed to supply a VBOOST_x voltage of
VBOOST = IOUT × RLOAD + Headroom
(2)
See Figure 53 for a plot of headroom supplied vs. output
voltage. This means that, for a fixed load and output voltage,
the dc-to-dc converter output current can be calculated by
the following formula:
AI CC =
Power Out
Efficiency × AVCC
=
I OUT × VBOOST
ηVBOOST × AVCC
(3)
where:
IOUT is the output current from IOUT_x in amps.
ηVBOOST is the efficiency at VBOOST_x as a fraction (see Figure 55
and Figure 56).
AICC SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS—SLEWING
The AICC current requirement while slewing is greater than in
static operation because the output power increases to charge
the output capacitance of the dc-to-dc converter. This transient
current can be quite large (see Figure 82), although the methods
described in the Reducing AICC Current Requirements section
can reduce the requirements on the AVCC supply. If not enough
AICC current can be provided, the AVCC voltage drops. Due to
this AVCC drop, the AICC current required to slew increases
further. This means that the voltage at AVCC drops further (see
Equation 3) and the VBOOST_x voltage, and thus the output voltage,
may never reach its intended value. Because this AVCC voltage is
common to all channels, this may also affect other channels.
25
0.6
AICC CURRENT (A)
The output capacitor affects ripple voltage of the dc-to-dc
converter and indirectly limits the maximum slew rate at which
the channel output current can rise. The ripple voltage is caused
by a combination of the capacitance and equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. For the AD5755-1, a ceramic
capacitor of 4.7 μF is recommended for typical applications.
Larger capacitors or paralleled capacitors improve the ripple at
the expense of reduced slew rate. Larger capacitors also impact
the AVCC supplies current requirements while slewing (see the
AICC Supply Requirements—Slewing section). This capacitance
at the output of the dc-to-dc converter should be >3 μF under
all operating conditions.
The input capacitor provides much of the dynamic current
required for the dc-to-dc converter and should be a low ESR

Using slew rate control can greatly reduce the AVCC supplies
current requirements, as shown in Figure 85. When using slew
rate control, attention should be paid to the fact that the output
cannot slew faster than the dc-to-dc converter. The dc-to-dc
converter slews slowest at higher currents through large (for
example, 1 kΩ) loads. This slew rate is also dependent on the
configuration of the dc-to-dc converter. Two examples of the
dc-to-dc converter output slew are shown in Figure 83 and
Figure 84 (VBOOST corresponds to the dc-to-dc converter’s output
voltage).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT OUTPUT RANGES ON
THE SAME TERMINAL
When using a channel of the AD5755-1, the current and voltage
output pins can be connected to two separate terminals or tied
together and connected to a single terminal. There is no conflict
with tying the two output pins together because only the voltage
output or the current output can be enabled at any one time. When
the current output is enabled, the voltage output is in tristate
mode, and when the voltage output is enabled, the current
output is in tristate mode. For this operation, the POC pin must
be tied low and the POC bit in the main control register set to 0,
or, if the POC pin is tied high, the POC bit in the main control
register must be set to 1 before the current output is enabled.
As shown in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section, the output
tolerances are the same for both the voltage and current output
pins. The +VSENSE_x connections are buffered so that current
leakage into these pins is negligible when in current output mode.
CURRENT OUTPUT MODE WITH INTERNAL RSET
When using the internal RSET resistor in current output mode,
the output is significantly affected by how many other channels
using the internal RSET are enabled and by the dc crosstalk from
these channels. The internal RSET specifications in Table 1 are
for all channels enabled with the internal RSET selected and
outputting the same code.
For every channel enabled with the internal RSET, the offset error
decreases. For example, with one current output enabled using
the internal RSET, the offset error is 0.075% FSR. This value
decreases proportionally as more current channels are enabled;
the offset error is 0.056% FSR on each of two channels, 0.029%
on each of three channels, and 0.01% on each of four channels.
Similarly, the dc crosstalk when using the internal RSET is proportional to the number of current output channels enabled with
the internal RSET. For example, with the measured channel at
0x8000 and one channel going from zero to full scale, the dc
crosstalk is −0.011% FSR. With two channels going from zero to
full scale, it is −0.019% FSR, and with all three other channels
going from zero to full scale, it is −0.025% FSR.
For the full-scale error measurement in Table 1, all channels are
at 0xFFFF. This means that, as any channel goes to zero scale,
the full-scale error increases due to the dc crosstalk. For
example, with the measured channel at 0xFFFF and three
channels at zero scale, the full-scale error is 0.025%. Similarly,
if only one channel is enabled in current output mode with the
internal RSET, the full-scale error is 0.025% FSR + 0.075% FSR =
0.1% FSR.
PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE SELECTION
To achieve the optimum performance from the AD5755-1 over
its full operating temperature range, a precision voltage reference
must be used. Thought should be given to the selection of a
precision voltage reference. The voltage applied to the reference
inputs is used to provide a buffered reference for the DAC cores.
Therefore, any error in the voltage reference is reflected in the
outputs of the device.
There are four possible sources of error to consider when
choosing a voltage reference for high accuracy applications:
initial accuracy, temperature coefficient of the output voltage,
long term drift, and output voltage noise.
Initial accuracy error on the output voltage of an external reference can lead to a full-scale error in the DAC. Therefore, to
minimize these errors, a reference with low initial accuracy
error specification is preferred. Choosing a reference with an
output trim adjustment, such as the ADR425, allows a system
designer to trim system errors out by setting the reference
voltage to a voltage other than the nominal. The trim adjustment can be used at any temperature to trim out any error.
Long-term drift is a measure of how much the reference output
voltage drifts over time. A reference with a tight long-term drift
specification ensures that the overall solution remains relatively
stable over its entire lifetime.
The temperature coefficient of a reference’s output voltage affects
INL, DNL, and TUE. A reference with a tight temperature
coefficient specification should be chosen to reduce the dependence of the DAC output voltage to ambient temperature.
In high accuracy applications, which have a relatively low noise
budget, reference output voltage noise must be considered.
Choosing a reference with as low an output noise voltage as
practical for the system resolution required is important.
Precision voltage references such as the ADR435 (XFET design)
produce low output noise in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz region. However,
as the circuit bandwidth increases, filtering the output of the
reference may be required to minimize the output noise.

AD5755-1
DRIVING INDUCTIVE LOADS
AD5755-1
When driving inductive or poorly defined loads, a capacitor
may be required between IOUT_x and AGND to ensure stability.
A 0.01 μF capacitor between IOUT_x and AGND ensures stability
of a load of 50 mH. The capacitive component of the load may
cause slower settling, although this may be masked by the settling time of the AD5755-1. There is no maximum capacitance
limit for the current output of the AD5755-1.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The AD5755-1 contains ESD protection diodes that prevent damage from normal handling. The industrial control environment
can, however, subject I/O circuits to much higher transients. To
protect the AD5755-1 from excessively high voltage transients,
external power diodes and a surge current limiting resistor are
required, as shown in Figure 86. The two protection diodes and
resistor must have appropriate power ratings. Further protection
can be provided with transient voltage suppressors or transorbs;
these are available as both unidirectional suppressors (protect
against positive high voltage transients) and bidirectional
suppressors (protect against both positive and negative high
voltage transients) and are available in a wide range of standoff
and breakdown voltage ratings. It is recommended that all field
connected nodes be protected.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Grounding
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration
of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure
the rated performance. The printed circuit board on which the
AD5755-1 is mounted should be designed so that the analog
and digital sections are separated and confined to certain areas of
the board. If the AD5755-1 is in a system where multiple devices
require an AGND-to-DGND connection, the connection should
be made at one point only. The star ground point should be
established as close as possible to the device.
The GNDSWx and ground connection for the AVCC supply are
referred to as PGND. PGND should be confined to certain areas
of the board, and the PGND-to-AGND connection should be
made at one point only.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Microprocessor interfacing to the AD5755-1 is via a serial bus
that uses a protocol compatible with microcontrollers and DSP
processors. The communications channel is a 3-wire minimum
interface consisting of a clock signal, a data signal, and a latch
signal. The AD5755-1 requires a 24-bit data-word with data
valid on the falling edge of SCLK.
The DAC output update is initiated on either the rising edge of
LDAC or, if LDAC is held low, on the rising edge of SYNC. The
contents of the registers can be read using the readback function.
AD5755-1-TO-ADSP-BF527 INTERFACE
The AD5755-1 can be connected directly to the SPORT
interface of the ADSP-BF527, an Analog Devices, Inc.,
Blackfin® DSP. Figure 87 shows how the SPORT interface
can be connected to control the AD5755-1.
The AD5755-1 should have ample supply bypassing of 10 μF
in parallel with 0.1 μF on each supply located as close to the
package as possible, ideally right up against the device. The
10 μF capacitors are the tantalum bead type. The 0.1 μF
capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and
low effective series inductance (ESL), such as the common
ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to ground
at high frequencies to handle transient currents due to internal
logic switching.
Traces
The power supply lines of the AD5755-1 should use as large a
trace as possible to provide low impedance paths and reduce
the effects of glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching
signals such as clocks should be shielded with digital ground
to prevent radiating noise to other parts of the board and
should never be run near the reference inputs. A ground line
routed between the SDIN and SCLK lines helps reduce crosstalk
between them (not required on a multilayer board that has a
separate ground plane, but separating the lines helps). It is
essential to minimize noise on the REFIN line because it
couples through to the DAC output.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at right angles to each other.
This reduces the effects of feedthrough on the board. A
microstrip technique is by far the best but not always possible
with a double-sided board. In this technique, the component

DC-to-DC Converters
To achieve high efficiency, good regulation, and stability, a welldesigned printed circuit board layout is required.
Follow these guidelines when designing printed circuit boards
(see Figure 80):
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the low ESR input capacitor, CIN, close to AVCC and
PGND.
Keep the high current path from CIN through the inductor,
LDCDC, to SWX and PGND as short as possible.
Keep the high current path from CIN through LDCDC and the
rectifier, DDCDC, to the output capacitor, CDCDC, as short as
possible.
Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible.
The path from CIN through the inductor, LDCDC, to SWX and
PGND should be able to handle a minimum of 1 A.
Place the compensation components as close as possible to
COMPDCDC_x.
Avoid routing high impedance traces near any node
connected to SWx or near the inductor to prevent radiated
noise injection.
GALVANICALLY ISOLATED INTERFACE
In many process control applications, it is necessary to provide
an isolation barrier between the controller and the unit being
controlled to protect and isolate the controlling circuitry from
any hazardous common-mode voltages that may occur.
Isocouplers provide voltage isolation in excess of 2.5 kV. The
serial loading structure of the AD5755-1 makes it ideal for
isolated interfaces because the number of interface lines is kept
to a minimum. Figure 88 shows a 4-channel isolated interface to
the AD5755-1 using an ADuM1400. For more information,
